Investigators did not release any information regarding the identities of the two suspects who fled the scene, but said one of them was heard speaking Spanish as they entered the home.

The family of eight, who were unarmed in the incident told investigators they own a construction business and were not victims of a home invasion before Friday.

This case in the Hockley area of Harris County is similar to another home invasion that took place in the same county last August. Two people tried to break into an apartment in the east side of the county and were shot at by the resident with one being shot. In southeast Houston last April, a 20-year-old man was shot twice in the abdomen after kicking in the front door of a house where a man and his wife lived. The intruder was shot by the husband and died later in hospital.
